The house was absolutely perfect for my family of 4 along with my elderly parents, and mother in law. Kerrie was a wonderful host and communication was superb!
2 weeks in paradise at the Cedar ad Sea in Palm Cove. House, property and location are spectacular with everything you could imagine to make this the perfect home away from home.

Thank you again for preparing our house for Cyclone Jasper.
We had the best stay at this wonderful property. The host was so accommodating, the house was stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Location perfect! We could not have picked a better house to stay in, all the little touches made it the best place we have stayed!
Excellent vacation home within walking distance from the beach ar Palm Cove. Great location within 15 mins to Cairns and port Douglas . Excellent inside furnishings and decor. It’s well maintained and home away from home .
The house was exactly as it appeared online, absolutely beautiful, really spacious, great for a family holiday.
There were high quality appliances, lovely furniture and just like a home away from home. All those little things you require were supplied, nothing was lacking.
The indoor/outdoor living area was a wonderful space, perfect for warm nights
Superbly presented property with first class amenities. All the creature comforts we could possibly want. Lots of space inside and on the outside patio and pool area allowed us to enjoy the Queensland weather. Within easy walking distance of restaurants and pub. Palm Cove was also an excellent touring base for nearby towns and attractions. Four of us had a great time. Looking forward to our next trip there.
Beautiful home in a beautiful location.
House is very well maintained, very clean and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing holiday. Pool was warm and clean. Loved the house and Palm Cove.
Communication with Kerrie was effortless.
We will be coming back :)
This property is one of the best houses we have ever stayed in! From the ease of booking and great communication from the owner Kerrie it was a pleasure to stay at Cedar and Sea! The house was beautiful, layout, styling and amenities were fabulous!! the master suite was divine and nice big bedrooms with comfy Beds! The photos don’t to the house justice! Great location and close to Palm Cove restaurants! We will definitely be back and couldn’t recommend it more!!

Thank you for your review, not sure what you mean by the garage fob as its only 1 year old and seems to be working fine but will keep an eye on it.
What a beautiful and clean house we arrived to, upon entry we were amazed by the open and bright space this property has to offer, all amenities and modern equipment supplied were above what we expected, bbq and pool area was perfect for them warm days and night, beds were very comfortable, bathrooms very spacious everything was perfect. Well done and thank you for presenting us with your beautiful house to enjoy our winter break. Shops only 5min drive away with everything needed for our stay.
Wow! What an amazing house! This property exceeded our expectations. Everything about our stay was perfect. Kerrie the host was soo great to communicate with and all questions were answered soo promptly. Our kids loved the pool and all the pool toys. The house has everything you need plus more. I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting a five star experience in palm cove. Our kids are already asking when we can go back! Thanks Kerrie for making our holiday soo special.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we love hearing that our guests had a great stay. We are looking forward to hosting your lovely family again soon.
Fabulous home, perfectly equipped & beautifully appointed.
Just a short walk from the beach but also very private.
Owners were very helpful and attentive ensuring we had everything we needed.
Everything you could want in a home away from home. Comfortable (in every sense), high end property with many extras to make holiday living easy. Well maintained beautiful home and heated pool with a lovely host.
This is the second time we have stayed at Cedar and Sea in Palm Cove. Despite the weather we had a wonderful time. The house is within walking distance to the beach and all of Palm Cove’s cafes and restaurants. The house is well equipped with everything you could need including a heated pool and great outdoor area. Would not hesitate in recommending it as a great place to stay.

Thanks Carolina looking forward to hosting you all again soon.
This was the most beautiful and amazing place to stay. Will recommend this house to all everyone.
The house was beautiful and clean and backed into the gorgeous rainforest. The house was the best I’ve ever stayed at, it had everything from pool floats to fishing lines. Extra linen and everything you could possible think of in the kitchen. We only ate out 1 night of the week we stayed. Would use this house again in a heart beat.
Thankyou.

Thank you for your kind words, it makes my day when I know our guests had a great holiday. Looking forward to your return xx
We found Cedar and Sea was a lovely place to stay. Very modern, clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and we appreciated blackout curtains with an infant in tow. Only negative was that we had 2 cars and only 1 space available in the garage so we had to park on steep driveway or on the road. Despite this we would definitely stay here again!
We had 10 days here with close friends, the location is perfect and the house was amazing, just fabulous easy for entertaining and has fantastic facilities, couldn't fault a thing.Great value I hope we can get back one day.
Thank you Kerrie

You are very welcome Quentin, it was lovely to host you and your family and glad to hear the wedding went well looking forward to hosting you again in the future.
This place has everything you could need for a great holiday. Big bedrooms, big kitchen, big couch and a wonderful outdoor area. It backs onto a jungle and is about 500m from the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host
Hosted by Kerrie Hancock
Cedar & Sea was built in October 2018 and opened as a holiday rental in January 2019 it was a labour of love and is our holiday house when we need a break from Melbourne. We have 3 grown children who we are very proud of and 3 beautiful grandchildren who keep us very busy. We love to hear our guests had an amazing holiday so we have supplied everything we can think of to make sure you have a great stay.
Why they chose this property
We have been holidaying in Palm Cove for many many years so decided to buy something. We came across our block of land in Cedar Rd and it was under contract but we put our name down anyway, we flew home and a few days later they rang and said the contract had fallen through so we said SOLD. A short walk to the main esplanade made it very attractive for us and no back neighbors was even more attractive, so we built our beautiful home after many hours of planning.
What makes this property unique
Perfect position close to the beach and restaurants all a 3 minute walk and a beautiful back drop of lush green rainforest with the sounds of birds.
